“Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the Lord.”
Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified, says the LORD—the divine command specifies the remedy: prioritize temple reconstruction. The sourcing of materials from the hills and the rebuilding become acts of covenant obedience and divine glorification. God frames the temple-building not as burden but as opportunity for covenant restoration and divine pleasure.
